The movie is set in an alternate present day that has seen humans, orcs, elves, and fairies living among each other since the dawn of time.

Described as "genre-bending", Bright will follow two cops – Ward (Will Smith) and Jakoby (Joel Edgerton) – as a routine night patrol brings "darkness that will ultimately alter the future and their world as they know it".

The movie's been written by Max Landis, though there is a lot riding on it as Netflix has reportedly splashed out $90 million on it.

The streaming giant apparently outbid the likes of Warner Bros/MGM for the rights to Bright, and paid the talent $45 million, on top of another $45 million for shooting and a further $5 million for the screenplay.

Bright, which also stars Noomi Rapace, Edgar Ramirez and Margaret Cho, is due to hit Netflix in December.
